Copy shares to HD2 & take it to remote enclosure - start Resilio Sync between the original & remote.
IWill this work: I have several GB of data which I need to maintain identical in two separate locations. To start - can I copy needed shares from the orginal HD to a second HD in the same enclousre; ...
I ment remote enclosure as identical or similar NAS. Please assume the same. model.
Does it mean it is better to make a backup form Disk1 to Disk2 in the same NAS. And take Disk2 to the other NAS. ?
As to a protocol afterwards. I have no clue what would work best. The automatic periodic two-way sync would be best.

No, I said exactly the opposite. Take the whole backup NAS to the location of the primary and do a backup using the same method you intend to use once it's remote. Then move it to the remote location.

Well, you need to work that out first since it may affect how you do the intial backuip. There is no automatic two-way sync built into the ReadyNAS. For a simple one-way backup, rsync over SSH will work, but a VPN is often the best way. I use ZeroTier, which will run directly on each NAS. OpenVPN, which is usually best implemented in your routers, is another option. I have no suggestions as to a bidirectional sync solution, as I don't need that. I have backups in each direction, but no share is written to in both locations, so each rsync backup job is only one way.
